Georgia Law Regarding Inmate Photos

RE: Dissemination of “Booking Photographs”

“Booking Photographs” No Longer Available On Website
Effective July 1, 2014, OCGA 35-1-18 takes effect which prohibits law enforcement agencies from posting booking photographs to a website; removes “booking photographs” from being obtained as “Open Records”; and prohibits the release of booking photographs unless certain conditions are met. In order to comply with those conditions the following procedure(s) shall take place immediately.

What Changed?
In the 2014 Legislative Session, HB 845 was introduced by Representatives Strickland of the 111th, Powell of the 171st, Rutledge of the 109th, Bruce of the 61st, Pruett of the 149th, and others. Both the House and the Senate passed the legislation with zero negative votes. It was signed into law by the Governor on April 24, 2014 to become effective July 1st, 2014.

Things to remember:

The Sheriff’s Office will no longer post “booking photographs” to our jail website.

All requests to obtain photograph(s) shall be made in person and shall be in writing on the approved affidavit

In addition to the written affidavit, the person requesting booking photographs shall provide pictured government identification (driver’s license, military ID, etc.) and a copy of the id shall be attached to the affidavit.

(If the requester is representing an organization or firm, proof of employment or such representation should be verified and attached to the affidavit.)
